• In simplified terms, here is what a page description language
does. When a designer engineer
or architect uses a software application (such as AutoCAD) to
create a drawing, document, or
graphic software application, they capture the information
required to draw that design on a
page. The software knows where to place lines, text and other
elements onto the page. The
software also knows details like how thick the lines should be and
what colors to print them.
Though we view this information on-screen as if it were a
“picture”, the data that defines the
image actually exits in bytes as a set of instructions that the
software application can follow to
remember and recreate the page whenever needed.
When a user clicks “print,” the printer driver helps send that
code to an out-put device, such as
a large-format printer. The page description language then takes
the code supplied by the
software, interprets that code and uses it to instruct the printer
where and how to place the
text and graphics onto the page. Page description languages are
therefore part of the core
technology that enables computers and printers to work together.
If it helps, think of it as if a computer and printer are working
together on a jig-saw puzzle. The
individual pieces of the puzzle represent the data bytes required
to construct the full page as
you see it on the monitor. The computer knows how to put the
puzzle together, but the printer
has to do the assembly work. The only problem is the computer
software and the printers
don’t speak the same language so they need help communicating with
each other. The printer
driver and page description language provides this needed help.
Clicking “print” begins a
process by which the software (with the printer driver’s help)
collets and sends the pieces, it
uses a page description language to interpret the instruction
provided to reassemble the puzzle
and output a print.
